I have an old program here that was coded a few years ago and it
utilizes a few of the basic dbm " barely a database" functions such as
"dbm_open()" , "dbm_close()", "dbm_fetch()" and "dbm_store()". This
system was recently upgraded to RedHat vers. 5.0/ w glibc".
In the past when I needed to compile a program using these functions I
would do this:
$ gcc -o foo foo.c -ldbm
However when I try to do this now I get a message saying "cannot open
-ldbm - no such file or directory". At first I figured that I need to
specify a path but, apparently this library is no longer available as I
could not locate it on the system. Yet the header "/usr/include/ndbm.h"
is.
Is there a way around this problem?? Is this library available under
another name perhaps, or is this functionality now included as part of
another library perhaps. Or do I need to open the source code and modify
the program to utilize an entirely different database structure??
Thank You..
